In the summer of 2009, more than 4,000 volunteers flocked to Dorking, England, to help former Top Gear cohost James May realize his childhood dream of building a real house out of Lego bricks. Over roughly one month, more than 3.5 million plastic blocks were transformed into a two-story home complete with Lego furnishings.
Guinness World Records dubbed May's structure the largest "life-sized house made from interlocking bricks." May's house wasn't alone as a life-sized Lego build. In 2016, Land Rover built a 5.8-million-brick model of London's Tower Bridge sturdy enough to drive its SUVs across. And in 2018, an Australian team built a full-size Lego camping trailer. Such accomplishments beg the question: If we can build a Lego house or bridge or camper, why isn't more of our world made of Lego blocks?
